Welcome to Eighth Grade English for 2017-2018

This course is designed to engage students in writing (descriptive, argumentative, narrative, poetry, and expository papers), reading (short stories, poems, novels, essays, and informational text), grammar concepts, and grammar rules. Students will complete oral presentations, understand the Six Trait writing process, participate in vocabulary reinforcement, and daily oral language activities. Students will expand and apply critical thinking, listening, reading, speaking, editing, publishing skills, and prepare for further study in English.

This website is designed for students and parents as an informational resource, especially when students are absent. Students are responsible for their own learning, and this includes gathering the information that was missed in class from this website. To see the Daily Agenda click on the link above.
